Media Liberation Day: how can we help newcomers get started and have a good experience on fedi? (1/N)
https://privacy.thenexus.today/how-to-help-newcomers-for-media-liberation-day/
Media Revolution's Media Liberation Day on November 5 is encouraging people to liberate themselves from malignant corporate media to explore decentralized social networks. It's a great opportunity to bring people to fedi ... but as we all know, it's not always easy for people to get started, find what they're looking for, and have a good experience here.
So, what resources, suggestions, and support can those of us who are already here provide to potential newcomers? And what can we do to prepare for – and encourage – a potential influx?
I've got a few specific questions below (and also in the CryptPad form here if you prefer -- anonymous replies are fine). But these are just starting points, other suggestions etc are welcome!

And mentioning that @FediTips is always more than willing to answer new users questions.

That blocking isn't a bad thing or a hateful thing. It is just a way to curate your experience. Before you get frustrated, just block. It is not a big deal.

Simply engage with them. Every now and then check out #introduction and give out a few welcomes. (And tell them to check out https://fedi.tips/ and ask @FediTips if they have any questions. 🤷)
